}} ''Pure Heroine'' is the debut studio album by New Zealand recording artist Lorde, released on 27 September 2013 by Universal Music Group. An extended version of the album was released on 13 December 2013. Lorde collaborated with producer Joel Little and began planning the project in 2012. After releasing her first extended play (EP) ''The Love Club EP'' and its lead single "Royals" in 2013, they continued writing and producing material. ''Pure Heroine'' is a dream pop, electronica and electropop album built around minimal production, deep bass and programmed beats. Lyrically, the album discusses youth and critiques of mainstream culture. ''Pure Heroine'' received generally favorable reviews from music critics, who commended its songwriting and production, and praised Lorde's vocal ability. The record debuted at number one on the Official New Zealand Music Chart and the Australian ARIA Charts. ''Pure Heroine'' performed strongly on international record charts, reaching number three on the U.S. ''Billboard'' 200 and charting within the top-ten in eight additional countries. ''Pure Heroine'' was nominated for Best Pop Vocal Album at the 56th Annual Grammy Awards. The album was also notable for its impact on present-day pop music and its challenge to modern-day artists. The lead single, "Royals", was a critical and commercial success, topping the charts in Canada, Ireland, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and the United States where Lorde became the first solo New Zealand act to top the ''Billboard'' Hot 100 chart and the youngest act to do so since Tiffany's 1987 single "I Think We're Alone Now". "Tennis Court" was subsequently released as the album's second single and charted in multiple countries. "Team" was released as the third single from the album, charting within the New Zealand, Canada and the United States top ten, and in the Australian top twenty. "No Better" and "Glory and Gore" were released as the fourth and fifth singles, with the former only included in the extended edition of ''Pure Heroine''. ==Background== From the age of 14, Lorde worked with Universal to develop her sound and artistic vision. She was signed to Universal by her manager Scott Maclachlan when she was 13, and was initially put together with a succession of different songwriters in unsuccessful attempts to develop her own music.〔 Maclachlan told HitQuarters: "Fundamentally I think she understood that she was going to write her own music but would need someone to help with the production side of it." Lorde began writing songs on guitar at the age of "13 or 14". She was eventually paired with New Zealand compatriot writer and producer Joel Little and this working relationship clicked almost immediately.〔 Lorde's debut extended play, 2013's ''The Love Club EP'', received acclaim from music critics who compared the EP to the work of Sky Ferreira, Florence + the Machine, Lana Del Rey, and Grimes, and reached number one in New Zealand, number two in Australia where it was certified five times platinum for shipments of 350,000 copies, and twenty-three on the US ''Billboard'' 200.〔(Lorde – Chart history: Billboard 200 ).
